Vermont Campus

Discover a New View of What's Possible

We opened our Vermont campus— the first and only school of pharmacy in the state— because we sensed a need in the region, and we saw great opportunities for our students.

Today, we are a diverse family of scholars expanding the next frontier of human health and exploring the future of pharmacy. Thanks to our faculty and an established network of pharmacies, clinics, and hospitals, our students learn firsthand how pharmacists are playing an expanded and vital role in health care – all while exploring the natural beauty that surrounds us.

With your passion for science and our 135-year tradition of student success, we can redefine the future of human health together. There’s a profound purpose in entering the world of pharmacy. We hope you accept the challenge.

Because for us, discovery doesn't end in the lab. It's a lifestyle.

Beyond our passion for pharmacy, we’re just as enthusiastic about exploring the lakes, mountains, farm-to-table restaurants, coffee shops and music venues of nearby Burlington, known as one of the nation’s most innovative cities.

Not only is it the headquarters for iconic brands like Ben & Jerry’s and Burton Snowboards, Burlington is also one of the friendliest, healthiest, and most forward-thinking cities in America. Home to several next-generation tech and health initiatives—including biomedical startups and the Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies—you’ll be living just five minutes from one of the best college towns in America.

And you’ll never have a shortage of adventures to choose from—like some of the region’s best spots for hiking, biking, shopping, skiing, kayaking, and other outdoor activities.

Our students set ambitious goals and are here to focus on advancing human health. Since all arrive having completed two to four years of college, there’s a level of maturity here that elevates the experience for everyone.

This shared sense of purpose is reinforced through activities such as weekend adventures with the Outdoors Club and volunteering with the
Service Club.

Add in an on-site cafeteria, an incredible nearby fitness facility with state-of-the-art equipment, and plenty of attractive places to live near campus, and you may never want to leave!

The Center for Student Success at ACPHS provides a comprehensive set of programs and services designed to help students grow academically, personally, and professionally.

Though the Center is based in Albany, study skill workshops are offered periodically on the Vermont Campus and via distance technology for students seeking to better understand and strengthen their strategies for academic success.

Academic Skill consultations are available via Phone, Movi, Lync, or Skype. To set up an appointment, please visit the Student Support Services scheduling website.

As an institution committed to the advancement of health care, the College places a priority on the health and safety of our students.

ACPHS offers a variety of programs and services to help ensure each student’s physical and mental well being.

In the event of an emergency, public safety can be reached at 518-244-3177 (this is an Albany number, but it is effective for Vermont too), or you may dial local safety and support services as appropriate.

Please find below links to additional information that will be useful to you during your time here as a student. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Jennifer Payne or Carolyn Claxton in the Vermont Campus Division of Student Affairs. They will be happy to help in any way they can!

Fast track your pharmacy career with the Accelerated Doctor of Pharmacy Program* at our Vermont campus. Enjoy an intimate learning environment where you'll have opportunities to collaborate with faculty on research including the exploration of epigentics and the biology of anticancer drugs. Unlike many other pharmacy schools, Vermont student pharmacists are able to immunize upon passing a certification exam.

We also offer a master’s degree in pharmaceutical sciences (MSPS), which focuses on the disciplines required for the discovery, development, and evaluation of new drugs and other pharmaceutical products. Unlike pharmacy’s focus on direct patient care, the MSPS program is ideal for the aspiring research scientist, future physician, or working professional in the biomedical or pharmaceutical industry.
